Helio Dual-Slider Messenger handset leaked on FCC

By Vincent Nguyen on Wednesday, Feb 21st 2007 No Comments

2088_283×237.jpg I’ve got a lot of love for Helio, and even more now with this SICK QWERTY-ready messenger handset (just need to remind myself not to call it a phone!).

While the official name is still unknown, it’s internally being called Pantech PN-810. The phone sports a similar design to Samsung’s F520 which – a dual slider. So basically when sliding the top layer up, in landscape view reveals a QWERY keyboard. And while in portrait view, sliding the top layer up reveals the number keypad. This is a very nifty design; and it’s about damn time Helio offers something this cool!

So what are the specs you can expect on this bad boy? First of all, EV-DO radio, 2.1-megapixel camera with built-in flash, and a 260k TFT LCD.

Pantech’s new suit is aluminium

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Jan 11th 2007 No Comments

Pantech seems to have crept up from behind and managed to make something of a name for itself in the cellphone business, striking an interesting balance between functionality and style. That’s not to say that they necessarily have the best timing. For instance, from the press release for their IM-U170:

“The IM-U170 will come to the fore as a breakthrough in the metallic mobile phone segment”

Now not wishing to pour the sloppy water of scorn onto you, Pantech, but you might have noticed the sleek aluminium iPhone Apple quietly announced the other day. So let’s look at the U170 in the same light that most other people will (albeit in Korea, apparently its sole market).

Pantech concept wins design award

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Dec 5th 2006 No Comments

Sometimes you get press releases through that are basically companies crowing about whatever award they’ve won recently, often awards that you’ve never heard of and, oddly, never hear of again afterwards. But here’s one occasion when I think a company deserves it – Pantech have won the iF Design Award for Excellence & Innovation for, among other things, their Flexus 03 concept cellphone.

A slender slider with a trackball and Moto PEBL-esque keypad, here’s hoping the Flexus 03 gets earmarked for production soon!
